Bo Bichette recapturing his All-Star form would be a massive boost for the Blue Jays down the stretch
. It hasn't been just one individual who's been underperforming, nor has it been just one area of this roster. Everyone can perform better.
It hasn't been all bad, though. Bichette has looked like himself in small stretches, they just haven't occurred consistently enough. In most cases, boasting higher expected numbers would suggest a player is unlucky and has been hitting into more outs than he should be. But that’s not entirely true for Bichette. Instead, his biggest issue is not generating enough hard contact for extended stretches.
That was a key reason the former second-round selection was so successful. Consistency is what separates good from great, and he was exactly that a season ago. The 2022 All-Star Game is only a few days away, and barring last-minute dropouts, Bichette won't be in attendance this year. That means he's in line for some much-needed rest after playing all but one of Toronto's 89 games.
